Peanut's promise

The black lab needed her damaged eye removed and we weren't sure how adoptable she would be as a one-eyed doggy, so somebody called the folks at Hilton Head Humane Assn and asked what they thought.

They said they didn't think the handicap would prevent her from finding a home although it might take a little longer than normal. Right now they did not have room to take her into their care, but just to show their support they would have their veterinary surgeon do the work Peanut needed. Well, all right!

Last Friday we picked up Peanut right after her surgery and she looked better already. We promised the Hilton Head Humane Assn people that we would keep Peanut as long as she needs til she finds a home. In less than 24 hours, an OR nurse from Charleston drove down to Ridgeland, fell in love with Peanut and adopted her.

Peanut will get her follow up care from her new vet in Charleston. People at both shelters are celebrating and so very happy for Peanut! It all happened so fast we did not even get a chance to take a picture.
